Show me in the Constitution where a Presidents greetings are limited to a handshake and a wink?
Really....so how come we never see the pictures of these people bowing to Obama!?!?!

Sorry...only one side seems to be bending knee in subservience.

Ah. Thanks for establishing that it is just a way that Obama greets people. A short, polite bow reminiscent of the Victorian era and a gesture that is considered polite in quite a few cultures.

But we don't do that there here in 'Merica and anyone who does is a commie loving socialist.

Gotcha.

Obama seems pretty conservative with his bow....

You have yourself a nice little conniption-fit about it then.

But in case you ever wanted to educate yourself, bowing doesn't mean subservience. During a meting, bowing indicates a greeting -- but it can also imply a range of emotions such a gratitude, humility, sincerity, remorse, or deference.

It's complicated, but if it bothers you: good.

Apparently some hate and/or fear what they don't understand. For instance, I hate the ignorance surrounding posts like your's. The far-right seems to hate just about everything that doesn't fit their limited world-view. Fortunately the majority of the world sees it for what it is, a polite gesture of respect. Don't worry, I'm sure the terrorists agree with you in this matter as well as more than a few others...

obviously the other guy does not respect Obama much since he is not bowing back. Come to think of it no one much respects Obama anymore. I heard that French president Sarkozy was questioning Obama's leadership abilities a week or so ago.
